Going out or ordering take out on Saturday has been a long time favorite of our family and many others. Dean and I have come to love this dish. While it is amazing, it is quick to make and very affordable. I did some comparisons of prices at the end of the recipe. Check it out.

Saturday Night Special

​

1 pound medium shrimp (I use frozen)

salt to taste

3-4 garlic cloves or 1 Tablespoon garlic

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half

2 cup spinach

Heat a pan to medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the garlic until you see the edges begin to brown. As soon as the garlic starts to brown, add the shrimp, tomatoes, and spinach to the pan. Spread the shrimp out evenly to cook. Cook until shrimp turns pink and the spinach is very wilted.

Total cost for this meal,

$5 for the shrimp, remember I used the frozen

$.25 garlic, probably even less.

$1.50 for the cherry tomatoes. The package cost $2.98 but I didn’t use it all.

$ .75 for the spinach. I’m just guessing here. The package was huge and I only used 2 cups. After this meal I’ll still have the tomatoes and spinach to make a salad at another time. I used olive oil and lemon juice that I had in my cupboard and fridge already.
